Free SHL Verify G+ Practice Test: Adaptive Numerical, Inductive, and Deductive

SHL Verify G+ is the adaptive cognitive test used by roughly half of the Fortune Global 500. This free practice mirrors the adaptive flow, the 36-minute total window, and the three core sections: numerical, inductive, and deductive reasoning. Percentile scoring against SHL norm groups. One attempt free, no signup required.

What this free SHL Verify G+ practice includes

The SHL platform is adaptive: get a question right and the next one gets harder, get it wrong and the next one gets easier. Your percentile score reflects both accuracy and the difficulty of the items you cleared. This simulation honors that flow. Wrong answers lower your trajectory, correct answers accelerate it.

At the end, you receive a percentile against a general adult norm group, a percentile against a graduate norm group (used by PwC, Deloitte, EY, and KPMG), and a section-by-section breakdown showing which of the three reasoning types carried your score. Answer explanations are unlocked for every missed item.

Adaptive item flow

Questions get harder when you are right and easier when you are wrong. Same flow as the real SHL platform.

Three reasoning sections

Numerical, inductive, and deductive reasoning. Roughly 30 items total within a 36-minute window.

Percentile against two norm groups

General adult norm and graduate norm. Graduate norm is what Big 4 and Magic Circle employers score against.

Full answer walkthroughs

Every missed item gets a detailed explanation. Numerical items include step-by-step calculations.

First run free, no card

Your first simulation is anonymous. Create an account only for additional runs.

Three sample SHL Verify G+ questions with walkthroughs

Hand-crafted in SHL format. Notice the emphasis on extracting numbers from tables and inferring rules from series.

Sample 1: Numerical Reasoning

A company reports Q1 revenue of 4.2M euros, up from 3.5M in the prior year. Q2 revenue was 4.8M, up from 4.0M prior year. What was the year-over-year growth rate for the first half, rounded to the nearest percent?

A.17 percent
B.19 percent
C.20 percent
D.22 percent
E.24 percent

Answer and walkthrough

C. First-half this year: 4.2 plus 4.8 equals 9.0M. First-half prior year: 3.5 plus 4.0 equals 7.5M. Growth: (9.0 minus 7.5) divided by 7.5 equals 0.20, or 20 percent. SHL numerical items are always extractable from the numbers given. Do not assume compounding or averaging unless the question says so explicitly. A calculator is allowed on SHL.

Sample 2: Inductive Reasoning

Which pattern continues the sequence? Pattern: a circle rotates 45 degrees clockwise each step, and a line inside the circle flips orientation every 2 steps. After 3 steps, which state is correct?

A.Circle rotated 45 degrees, line in original orientation
B.Circle rotated 90 degrees, line flipped
C.Circle rotated 135 degrees, line flipped
D.Circle rotated 135 degrees, line in original orientation
E.Circle rotated 180 degrees, line flipped

Answer and walkthrough

C. After 3 steps, the circle has rotated 3 times 45 degrees, which is 135 degrees. The line flips every 2 steps, so it has flipped once (after steps 1 and 2) and remained flipped at step 3. Inductive items on SHL always reward splitting the transformation into independent rules, then applying each rule separately. Never try to hold both rules in your head at once.

Sample 3: Deductive Reasoning

Premises: All auditors in the London office are qualified. Some of the qualified staff in London are partners. Which conclusion follows?

A.All partners in London are auditors.
B.Some auditors in London are partners.
C.All auditors in London are partners.
D.No auditors in London are partners.
E.The premises are insufficient to conclude anything about auditors being partners.

Answer and walkthrough

E. The premises establish that all auditors are qualified, and that some qualified staff are partners. The overlap between auditors and partners is not specified. It is possible no auditors are partners (all partners could be non-auditor qualified staff), and it is possible some or all auditors are partners. The premises are insufficient. SHL deductive items punish candidates who reach past the premises. If the overlap is not stated, it cannot be concluded.

What the real SHL Verify G+ feels like

The real SHL Verify G+ is delivered through the SHL Verify platform and typically takes 36 minutes. The interface shows one question at a time with a visible clock for the remaining section time. Calculator is permitted on numerical sections. You cannot revisit previous items.

Because the test is adaptive, your first few questions calibrate the difficulty track you travel for the rest of the test. Candidates who rush the first 3 to 5 items and miss them often end up on a low-difficulty track where even a perfect accuracy rate caps the percentile in the mid-60s. Slow down on the first handful.

Big 4, Magic Circle, and FMCG graduate programs score candidates against the graduate norm group, where 50th percentile is a markedly higher raw performance than 50th percentile on the general adult norm. A 70th-percentile graduate-norm score is roughly equivalent to an 85th-percentile general-adult score. If you are applying to Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG, JPMorgan, Barclays, Unilever, or P&G, your target is the graduate norm.
